They use this almost daily since Christmas and works great. great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Issues with variable speed *by L***S on May 18, 2026* Speed potentiometer will not allow for speed changes always at high speed, Called them up and they sent me a new potentiometer at no cost and was simple to replace very helpful crowd and was more than willing to help, my grandson loves this machine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best machine for its price *by L***T on April 25, 2016* First off be sure to purchase this from 1SportingGoodsOnline. They manufacture the machine and their customer service is the best I have encountered in on-line sales. J.C. was very helpful and answered many of my questions promptly. This is a solid machine I have been using it for the past week, everything has been working great. I use it and have my three kids use it also. I also have the 24 ft batting cage and the two products work seamlessly together. I have the Atec Hitting streak (I coach H.S. baseball) and decided to purchase the Slider for the automatic feeder so I wouldn't have to feed the ball every time. In comparing the Atec with the Slider they are essentially identical in regards to variable velocity control and breaking balls. The auto feeder works as advertised; an adjustment I made though was to put the feeder on the back part of the machine (there is a hole for it and is designed for the feeder), I did this so the hitter is able to see the ball drop into the machine. To adjust the height on the Slider you use adjust the back leg height; it takes just a second to do, if you want a finer height setting adjust the velocity. The Slider is a plastic machine and is a bit louder than the metal Atec machine that I have; that's why I feel more comfortable in throwing the Atec machine in my trunk and bringing it on the road with me to practices and games. The Slider is the best machine at it's price point (compare to $1,000 for the new Atec Hitting Streak). I put up a cage, purchased 12 softee balls, and this machine all for under $400. UPDATE UPDATE 9/22 It’s been 6 years and I still have the original machine ( we are on our 3rd net). The machine is still in functioning order ( albeit a little tired). What have I discovered in the past years. The net takes about 45-60 minutes to set up. I found that if you tape the tip off the poles (I used electrical tape) it makes it the entire frame sturdier and hard hit balls won’t separate the posts. Also be sure to use the softee white balls and not the heavier yellow one. Yellow ones destroy the net and any hard hit ball up the middle will break the machine eventually. I still highly recommend this setup. This has been in heavy use every summer (3 boys plus myself) since being purchased. Will be buying a new machine and net next year, pretty good machine! ## Frequently Bought Together - Heater Sports Slider Lite 360 Baseball Pitching Machine with Automatic Ball Feeder - Accurate 360-Degree Delivery, Durable and Portable Training Tool for All Ages - Heater Sport Power Alley 60 MPH Lite Baseballs White - 1 Dozen, Lightweight, Accurate, and Long-Lasting | Perfect for Batting and Fielding Practice, Ideal for All Ages in Both Outdoor and Indoor Use - Heater Sports Slider 40 MPH Orange Soft Foam Balls - 1 Dozen, Lightweight, Accurate, and Long-Lasting, | Ideal for Batting and Fielding Practice for All Ages - SLB10 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2009899-slider-lite-pitching-machine](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2009899-slider-lite-pitching-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
